Adams Saw It Coming

"I'm just happy to be in the right place at the right time. I really just wanted to get the ball because nobody had seen it. Sometimes somebody just comes out of nowhere, but I knew once I got it that I was going to score a touchdown."

So Much Celebration

"Running around out there celebrating with Montravius and Carl for their amazing play they made, then having to turn around and play again on defense, I was like 'man, I'm tired,'" defensive end Marlon Davidson said.
